A Step ahead in Development<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As an Android developer, I am interested in making apps happy to know my work is reached to a lot of people, but sometimes a concern pops up in my mind, that I am making apps to only a half of the population as other half is using iOS as their mobile OS. So what should I do to reach that other half?
Whether should I learn Swift and Kotlin (native) both side by side or should I shift to the cross-platform framework to solve my problem. \ud83e\udd14
Well, after reading some blogs and watching videos, I conclude selecting a cross-platform framework and particularly flutter to build both iOS and Android apps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n


Reasons WHY?<\/strong>
Well, let’s first have a glance of flutter.
As defined in the official documentation of flutter, Flutter is Google’s UI toolkit for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All it means is that Flutter is an open-source mobile SDK that can be used as a cross-platform tool to create native Android and iOS apps from a single code base by using a reactive framework.
Flutter 1.0 was officially launched in December 2018, and the language used in developing flutter apps is Dart which is a simple object-oriented programming language.
In Flutter everything is a widget, the whole UI is a widget which got created by combining different widget.
A big organization like eBay, Alibaba, Tencent, and many more are using flutter for developing apps that are being used by millions of users worldwide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n


Few of Flutter’s Advantages<\/strong>
The same codebase for Android and iOS apps saves you a lot of time and resources.
Flutter provides reactive views without needing a bridge as required by react-native which enhanced its performance.
Stateful hot reload, a nice tool that helps you in checking your changes made in design instantly.
So is it a \ud83d\udc4d Total Win-Win Learning Flutter. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n


Learning flutter can help you in a lot of ways but it still has it’s limitations. Flutter can’t be your choice if you are interested in making games, and also, you can’t make apps that require a lot of platform-specific functionality.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
